The syllabus does not contain a grading scale. As a 700-level course, this course is not available for undergraduate credit. Any undergraduate enrolled in it would have to be approved to take the course for graduate credit (so delete references to different work for undergraduates).

It seems to me as though the fact that this course involves a 2-week trip (to Germany) should be mentioned somewhere other than in the weekly schedule. And, the schedule refers to a "Travel Week", but the trip is 2 weeks. This impacts the meeting times, ....

Because the course number is now at the 500-level, there must be at least one learning outcome specifically for graduate students in the course.

As this is a new course, it can be put on the schedule as soon as it's completely approved (even though it won't be in the 2017-2018 Bulletin). This needs to reach Courses and Curricula by Friday, January 13.

On a relatively minor point, the following statement is made within the Attendance portion of the syllabus: "Being present in drama is one of the most important aspects of the work. Therefore, your final grade will be lowered by one step for every absence over one. For Example, if you have an A and have TWO absences, your grade will be lowered to an A minus." The USC course grading scale does not allow for "minuses".

There are two assignment overview sections which are confusing.

Graduate student assignment for artist journal is not in the grading scheme.

Thank you for submitting your proposal to the Committee on Curricula & Courses. We are moving your proposal forward to the Faculty Senate. We appreciate your patience and commitment to undergraduate and graduate education.

John Gerdes, Chair
